No sign of the guy with the hangover, but we flew on to Lake Charles for a crawfish boil. He'll catch up sooner or later.

Crawfish boil, yum! yum! The after affects has got to me a whole bunch better than that soda pop I consumed at our last stop! lol.
On the way to Shreveport. Blue skies but with a lot of turbulence.
A touch of home cooking in Addison, TX.
Nice flight to Dallas. The more I fly the C-46, the better I like it.

We left Hot Springs and headed northeast to my neck of the woods in Gibson Co TN. Great flight and I tested out a "new" gauge set doing it.

Interesting weather phenomena around Vicksburg....

We left Vicksburg and headed east on to Tuscaloosa Alabama. At least I think that's where we went....

Hello,
Here are some photos that have been taken over the last few flights.
They say when in Rome.... And as we're in the South, this one seems fitting

On to Panama City. The Central 240 went back to Oklahoma so it is the DC-3 again.
Pretty good flight to Atlanta (KFFC), but when I was working on setting up my approach, apparently the lights for most of my gauges decided that they were made by Lucas....
I've included a pic what they're supposed to look like. Think I know what the issue is but it's going to take a bit to fix it.

I think I might have found the source of my lighting problems....

Decided to join the others and go Douglas...

Taco and I flew on over the Smokies to Roanoke VA. Nice flight even going through a storm front and with the DC-2 otto not holding altitude which kept things interesting flying through clouds over the mountains. Fortunately Piedmont is letting me use their hangar while I cobble something together to replace the Sperry otto...

Hey there!
Here are some snaps from last nights flight, and a line up of all of the Flight 19 on a perivous flight.
Got the Sperry replaced by a prototype one from a well known English company that specializes in electrical/electronic devices. What could go wrong?

A couple of shots taken during pre-flight last night. We headed on up to Martinsburg and had a good time.
The FS9 Uiver Team DC-2 is really quite good and a bargain for the price. While it's a little slower than the FS DC-3s I have, I still prefer it to a DC-3. Trying to keep up with the others without blowing an engine (yes, it can) can be quite interesting.

Somewhat windy and turbulent flight into Erie, PA. Home of The Wonders.
If nothing else it was an interesting flight. I was trying out a new otto and got to noticing a red light on the panel. Engine Fire in #1. Got lucky and when I throttled back, the fire went out. When you push the DC-2 too hard, bad things happen.
About a minute out from Eire, FS decided it was time to become a slide show and I ended up smashing into the runway.
And the new otto? It works fine in the C-46. In the DC-2, not so much. Going back to the Lucas otto there.

I'm beginning to think that DC-2 is a flying BBQ pit. Fortunately I was able to hitch a ride with the railroad....

Nice flight into Zanesville Ohio. Darn that DC-3 behind me looks familiar.....

Interesting weather coming into NE Tennessee today. Darn wind just kept blowing me off of the ILS beam, so I ignored it and played like a moth and just came to the lights...

A couple of shots from last night's flight from Greenville SC to Roanoke AL. At least I know where I'll be eating supper at...
